Somebody on another forum asked if they could bend a gradient allong a path..They had made a bent path and wanted to apply a gradient to it to make it look like a tube..but the gradient makes a straight line doesn not follow the bent tube...etc.

I showed them that you can grab the straight tube with an applied gradient and shear it...if worked for them...

then a pesron that goes by SCync answers as follows:

1. Make sure your object on its own layer.

2. Click the Layer Style button and select Stroke.

3. When the dialog comes up change the position to Inside, and slide the size over until the object is filled with the stroke colour.

4. Change the fill type to Gradient, and now the magic, change the style to Shape Burst. You can change the gradient colours to your pleasing.

To test this make any curved black line...the gradient will follow the line..

I would attach a picture but I'm not allowed for some reason...

Anyway I wanted to share this tip from " SCync" Maybe I'm the only person in the world that didn't know this but...here it is.
